"I'm not going to be stingy with you guys. 300gm of Herbal-Cress, three pills it is!" Mu Qing Lang tapped on the selection to concoct the Xian-Qin Pill. After waiting for about 90 seconds, they are done. But that's wasn't all he has to do.
To scan the item and read the detailed report, Mu Qing Lang must bring that item to the table for it to run the diagnosis. It did not take too long for the option to pops up and hinting him to tap on it.

"I want to take this pill so much, but it will increase my libido for a duration of time. That might not be a bad thing, but it wasn't suitable for me according to my own understanding of my situation. I guess I'll take the Small Xian Pill and leave that aside until I found some human settlement."
Mu Qing Lang pops a Small Xian Pill and goes to bed. For a person having his second chance of life, being able to sleep on a soft and comfy mattress can be said to be a certain quality of luxury.
As for the remaining 97 stalks of Xian-Ren Grass, seven is added to his kitchen's tabletop, totaling up to 14, while the 90 stalks of Xian-Ren Grass is processed into 9 Small Xian Pills. Along with the bonuses from the Spiritual Agate Pebble, his experience point is at [32] points right now.
On the seventh day morning, everyone finished their meal earlier to catch up with the planting process. After the harvest on the third batch of 50 Xian-Ren Grass, their duty includes planting 500 plants worth of Chang-Er Bronze Wheat and 500 plants worth of Mingwen Soybean.
Of course, they're not to forget about planting for the first 500 plants plot for the Xian-Ren Grass today. All to be said, it will be a busy day for the goblins.
While the goblin is handling the seeding process, Mu Qing Lang was kind enough to harvest the Prairie Herbal-Cress himself. After collecting the 600gm of fresh herbs and moving the seeds to a few one-meter cubic plots, he left the farm and prepared the goblin's meal.
The complete seeding process means that they're going to expect for a great harvest seven days later. When the sky changes darker, the goblins returned for their sumptuous meal.
Given the opportunity to enjoy the inner flesh of the Xian-Ren Grass again, the goblins cheered happily and started to dance. And at the same time, Xiao Qing dared himself to ask for the second serving, which Mu Qing Lang happily obliged.
This way, he cleared the 14 stalks of Xian-Ren Grass on top of the kitchen tabletop, and there are only 100 stalks left. Deducting the cost of 6 stalks to be concocted with the Herbal-Cress, he's going to turn 90 of them into the Recovery Ointment and leaving 4 on his kitchen table.
"Xiao Qing." Mu Qing Lang called. The Goblin Teacher came forth and kneeled before Mu Qing Lang for his order.
And once again, the goblins are showered with more love and affection from this master. Calling Xiao Qing over to him is for convenient as Mu Qing Lang took twelve milky-colored Recovery Ointment to be distributed.
As Mu Qing Lang's representative and the chief of this camp's goblins, leaving the responsibility on Xiao Qing will be the best choice so far without bothering himself.
What he did not know is that after each goblin received their own bottle of Recovery Ointment, they immediately smeared the paste on their body like it was the best body lotion they tried for the first time.
After he processed the Prairie Herbal-Cress / Xian-Ren Grass combination, Mu Qing Lang turned the 90 stalks of Xian-Ren Grass into 18 milky bottle wit Recovery Ointment inside. After popping up the Small Xian Pill, he went to bed, fully expecting his eighth day morning.
In fact, there wasn't anything to do on his eighth day. With the last batch of the harvest is done on his 7th day, the earliest day the goblin have something to do will be on the 9th day, where it will be their first harvest of 500 Xian-Ren Plants. Of course, we must not neglect the fact te Prairie Herbal-Cress also harvestable on that day.
Waking up quite early on his eighth day, Mu Qing Lang decided to try searching for the human settlement or their tracks towards the direction mentioned by Xiao Qing. As for the goblins on their off day, all of them wanted to return to their old village for a visit.
When Mu Qing Lang asked if they're coming back, Xiao Qing replied.
"Some goblin might have hidden some treasures inside the village. We will come back after we dig them out." the answer is simple, but it made Mu Qing Lang somewhat speechless.
"Scavenging their old village for leftovers? Did these goblins turn mad from having nothing to do? I'll have to plan more work for them starting tomorrow. I'll make sure you guys have no time for sleep, work, and eat."
After he approved them visiting the village, Mu Qing Lang started to went on a different route. The path is still covered with foliage, but for the current him, these are nothing else but a disturbance.
When he was harvesting the Prairie Herbal-Cress, Mu Qing Lang took his copper dagger out to makes thing easier for him. Based on the coarsely sharpened edge, cutting off the leaves and leaving some stem and the root can be said to be not even a challenge.
But at that moment, Mu Qing Lang jokes about having his strand of Spiritual Thread reinforce the blade so he can cut the leaves off with a single swing. Unfortunately, for the system, these kinds of request hardly taken as a joke.
A hint of his Spiritual Thread the vanishes from his body. Once entered into the copper dagger, a line of faint light extends further than the blade and giving out a hint of threatening danger. Still, at the end of the day, the knife performed much better than he anticipated.
Once stranger, the second time both will be much closer.
Using this for his second time, Mu Qing Lang performed everything he wished to do at ease. To make sure he knows the detail such as how long can it be used, will it cause backlash to the weapon, or will it exhaust him and his stamina, everything went on under the name of testing.
Along his way, the weed cutter did not stop. Mu Qing Lang heavily relied on using the trimmed foliage as his direction, so for each time he reaches an open space, Mu Qing Lang will think of a way to leave himself a mark on where he came from.
In case the mark is smeared or destroyed, that means there's an intruder.
"HEY! SOMETHING NEW!" entering another open area like before, Mu Qing Lang found something different this time. It was a plant with a total of three berries on the lone shrub. While they are not clustered in a small spot, the plant does have a hint of privacy lover, looking at how centered is their sharp leaves and three berries in the center.
He collected the ten specimens nicely and brought them into the Carriage of Immortality and continued on his trip. Not too long after this final short-grass area, Mu Qing Lang is greeted by a sight of green grassland with some short and weirdly grown trees everywhere.
At the edge of the border between the prairie and the green grassland is a settlement, with the ability of housing sixty to seventy people, both men, and women. Surprisingly, they possessed some skills in woodcutting, and this means something else for Mu Qing Lang.
With the existence of a human settlement, it means they have access to fire making and smelting. The appearance of fire making marks the period human stops eating raw meat. Smelting will increase the demand for tools and weaponry.
Looking at how they'll soon follow the path his previous world had went through, Mu Qing Lang feels a hint of weakness. He's not outspoken enough to steer the people out from the starting point of corruption.
But as he pondered on where to start, a group of people came out from the direction he used earlier. The group of five male adults noticed Mu Qing Lang and immediately attacked due to the suspicion that he is a spy.
The four attackers weren't his match at all and defeated from their second or third punch. As the son of this Ka-Ruo Settlement's chief, this fifth male is somebody too powerful to be disrespected.
Charging at Mu Qing Lang with quite a speed, both noticed the differences on their opponent.
"A cultivator?" the son of Ka-Ruo Settlement Chief and Mu Qing Lang said the same word at the same time, facing each other from a distance. But the most unbelievable matter is, this young master's cultivation is at least [100] experience points above than Mu Qing Lang!
